QUOTES

21:10 Using virtual reality for warehouse training - Kevin: "I love the training stuff just with the safety aspect overall. Training in the warehouse should be the same every time. I think programs like that allow you to do that same type of training every time.

24:07 Any tools that help understand what's happening in the warehouse are extremely impactful - Kevin: "When you think about reducing staff by bringing in automation and robotics and just having member shortages in general with less people wanting to work in warehouses. Think about 4-5 managers having to cover half a million square feet, you can't be everywhere at the same time.
